  3. Financial Hell Is About to Break Loose in #American #Schools
    Trump’s new #school funding, part of #OneBigBeautifulBill Act, will kick in January 2027. It’s going to create a financial tsunami for #publicschools. There’s no mystery to it: We already know what will happen, because the scheme is not new at all. It brings us back to the bad old days, to the failed and inadequate divided school budgets from before the Civil War, that modern #publicschool were designed to fix.

    The Trump administration this week quietly released an update to a major survey on civil rights in schools that removed all data related to nonbinary students or bullying based on gender identity. The numbers come from the Education Department's Civil Rights Data Collection, a survey of nearly every public school in the nation. The release this week covers the 2023-2024, when the survey included "nonbinary" as a gender category alongside male...

  13. The case would be one of the most significant dealing with #religion in #PublicSchools since an ideologically divided #SCOTUS ruled in 2022 that a former public high school football coach’s on-field prayers were protected under the #FirstAmendment’s right to #FreeSpeech.
    In the current case, the [ultra-conservative] US Court of Appeals for the #5thCircuit in New Orleans upheld the #Texas #law on a 9-8 vote, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the measure #unconstitutional.

    #Constitution

  14. The justices are expected to decide in coming months whether to take up the case, which is being closely watched as conservatives…work to expand #religious “rights” [ #Christian #evangelism ] in public spaces & opponents battle them in court. In April, a conservative appeals court upheld the law in a narrowly divided opinion.

  15. The three women of different (or no) faiths all want the same thing. A recently filed attempt to remove #Christian teachings from #PublicSchools used #StateLaw - not federal - and is awaiting #appeal.
    (Christians know they're breaking the law. But they're convinced that we're possessed by #demons, so they don't care. Hard to argue with these people.)

  21. The #Trump admin laid the groundwork for this change earlier this year when it signed an agreement to move career, technical & adult education grants out of the #Education Dept to the #Labor Dept. Under the arrangement, Education retains oversight & leadership while managing the programs alongside Labor, a way of sidestepping the federal #statute.

  22. Walters, a former teacher, was elected to the superintendent’s job. He had served as Oklahoma Secretary of #Education from September 2020 to April 2023. He was appointed to that position by Governor #KevinStitt.

    Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the #YMCA or #PublicSchools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide

    Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.

    "Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.

    " 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.

    "Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.

    "Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.

    [...]

    "Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.

    " 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'

    "The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.

    " 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.

    "At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."
